NBA star Devin Booker is known for his basketball skills and gameplay on the court for his side, the Phoenix Suns. Off the court, Booker is known for his outspoken nature and his social media posts. Similarly, the Suns’ star has made headlines, and not for basketball reasons. It was for something completely different.

It seems as if Booker is a big-time Hooters restaurant chain fan. This is because Booker went as far to the extent to share a post regarding them. Before we get to Booker, it is reported that the popular restaurant chain, Hooters is filing for ‘bankruptcy.’ This did not go down well with the Suns’ star and many US citizens and fans around the country.

Plz don’t go @Hooters.

The well-known restaurant company, which is well-known for its fancy waitresses, declared that it was thinking of reorganizing its business and that legal action would start in April. This occurred as Hooters of America experienced a decline in traffic and significant debt accumulation in previous years.

According to reports, the company and the legal firm Ropes & Gray are getting ready to file in February, but no formal preparations are said to have been formed as of yet. It sold asset-backed bonds for about $300 million in 2021. Fans as well as Booker will have to wait and watch how this situation unfolds in the coming months.
